Finland, Russia, Russia and Switzerland… "96 tea bags and 2 pedal bins"!

Day 10

The organisational chaos continued at the airport as we were ushered into the VIP area and everything was taken care of.  We were all tired, some of the promoter´s guys were still drunk so we couldn´t wait to get on the plane and breathe a sigh of relief.

In Blagoveshensk we had recovered one of the hours we had lost and now we had 7 ˝ hours to fly to Moscow.  Mainly I slept on the flight which was easy because the coffee machine was broken... And they had NO COFFEE!!!  All I wanted was to arrive safely in Moscow and get to my hotel room!

So I sat and slept and stared out of the window at the countless thousands of miles of frozen wasteland.  Made me wonder what percentage of Russia is populated….

But we made it safely which is the most important thing after all.  All that was left for me to do was endure the 3 ˝ hour drive to my hotel which is at Sheremetyevo airport on the other side of Moscow.  They will never, ever solve the horrendous traffic problem in Moscow, even on a non-work day.  But I am here and at last I can relax!

More soon.
